Invisible People

These paintings portray the women who maintain the buildings and grounds of University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. These works give a face to the typcailly anonymous women, whose difficult, manual labor often happens out of sight, where doing their best means leaving no evidence of their work behind. Drawn on translucent paper, the paintings hang delicately on the walls of the of the institution these women maintain, allowing their names and faces to be seen, acknowleged and appreciated while simultaneously becoming one with the walls of the buildings they so dilligently care for.
